Brown butter Lemon Ricotta Linguine

Method

1. Gather and prep everything first: dried pasta, olive oil, garlic and set within reach of the stove.
2. Warm a splash of olive oil in a heavy pan over medium heat, then add the shallots and cook until soft and fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes.
3. Add the lemon ricotta and let it brown-butter, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
4. Fold in the pine nuts and season generously; give everything a minute to come together.
5. Off the heat, brighten it up with a squeeze of lemon and a final crack of pepper.
6. Serve warm, ideally with something to soak up the sauce.
